Customer Reviews

This is the best book I have ever seen on the festivals. It is done from the perspective that you are not already knowledgeable about the festivals of God. I t is also a very fast read and if you have children is also has crafts and foods to make. It is well worth every penny! I highly recommend this book. In June of 98 I left my Baptist roots and began the search God led me on to learn of his Biblical holidays and wonderful plan for my life.-Praying always, Lori
This book is a fabulous find! It begins by telling a semi-humerous but perfectly true short story about how we were 'hoodwinked'(my words, not the author's) by a ruler (this was Constantine) into discarding the Biblical holidays - they are NOT Jewish holidays, they are always referred in the Bible as "MY(God's)Festivals" - and taking on the pagan holidays of those around them. Then it goes on to show how we can and should be doing the Lord's festivals and why. What they are foreshadowings of. It covers all the festivals, including Hanukkah and Purim. It gives background info and then moves on into today's ways of celebrating and what each festival is representative of. This wonderful guide even goes into explaining the differences in interpretation on the Fall Holidays, which have not even been fulfilled yet by God, and how there are 3 views of order:pre-trib, post-trib. and mid-trib. You can adapt it to fit your families belief. For homeschoolers, there is a section on each festival for you to do a unit study on, and great charts to assist in this. Crafts, games, and things to do are also included which can be copied and traced, etc. The back section has a question and answer session on the most commonly asked questions by people new to this. Both those trying to understand and those who want to know how to explain it to their family and friends. Everything is covered in easy to comprehend details and although it is large, it is quite easy to read and learn from. The only thing not in this comprehensive book of festivals are some of the wonderful prayers said worldwide during these festivals, but one can find those in many other places. That said - this is hands down our families most favorite holiday book(and we have purchased at least 12)of all time. I think the opening short story is one of the most clever things I've ever read to explain this phenomenon of the reurn to Biblical rules, bar none. I would highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone- and I do all the time! -A Reader from TX

This book is fantastic. Besides the great info on the holidays, it's full of information every Christian should know about the Jewish roots of Christianity. Believers will be magnified and enriched. Its easy to understand chapters give the history about each holidays, how the Jews observe each holidays (the author points out this is not always Biblical), how Christians can celebrate each holidays with lots of craft and activity pages for children. Much more than I expected and well worth the price! I have a few other books on the holidays and this is my favorite! - Cindy Thomas from TN

For those having limited experience with Jewish beliefs this is a wonderful way to really get started. It's all been researched and easily laid out so there is limited Prep time and and you can move on the holidays quickly and it's fun. I love being able to tie my family's beliefs back to where they began and teaching my children that our belief began with the God's chosen people and is as real and meaningful today. If you want to bring the origin of Christianity into your home to study and practice this is the book. - D Chastain, Georgia United States

I was absolutely thrilled to receive a copy of A Family Guide to the Biblical Holidays! You have done so much work! Amazing. It looks super.- Maureen Duthie, Waihola, Otago, New Zealand

A must have! This is a fascinating book. It is an excellent resource for those wanting to learn about the biblical holidays and their significance and reflection of Jesus! It has lots of info on how to observe them and even projects and games for kids. This book is a great investment and I highly recommend it. I as a Baptist Christian have had my eyes opened to a new understanding that I was missing out on before because I didn't understand the Jewishness of the Bible which makes a great difference in Bible study once learned about! -Reader from Anchorage, Alaska

We have some friends that will just love using your book as a resource in raising their son. I can’t wait to get it for them! You have made a wonderful contribution in publishing this book. Thank you again!May the Lord richly bless you, -Glenna Magee
At the last [home school] convention in Michigan, A Family Guide to the Biblical Holidays was one of our best-sellers, topped only by Our Father Abraham. Thanks for all the work you put into creating the The Biblical Holidays. May HaShem bless you and your family in all your endeavors! B'Shalom, Kathy Burns

Just yesterday I was again blessed by your "Family Guide to the Biblical Holidays" book as I pulled it out (once again) to get some ideas for our upcoming Hannukah celebration. I recently purchased your "What Your Child Needs to Know When" book, the new edition, and am just now beginning to read through it. Thank you for the quality materials you have been publishing!! Thank you for being a willing servant to help make materials available that we can use to teach our children the FULL scriptures about the one true living Elohim, who is the same yesterday, today and forever!! HE orders the steps of a righteous man. HE promises us blessings when we choose the way of life, Torah living. Baruch HaShem! B'shem Yeshua HaMashiach, Sandi Lawrence


I just wanted to write you a quick note to tell what a blessing the "Family Guide Guide to Biblical Holidays" is. God has commanded that these festivals and holy day be celebrated through all generations. Unfortunately, we Christians have neglected to follow those instructions. Even when we become aware that we should be doing these things, it is an arduous task to reference the procedures and customs. I have been interested in this area of research for several years and I am delighted that you have provided such a accurate, insightful and imaginative work to publication. I know it is Gods will that we worship Him and celebrate what He has done, His way. Your work provides the information required to educate us. Thank you so very much again. With love from your brother in Messiach Yeshua, George Sadler


Robin, I personally want to thank you for your prolific writing on the subject of our Hebraic roots. We've also been using the Biblical Holiday book for 2 years now-probably purchased it shortly after its publication. Discovering and walking through the feasts is so fulfilling to a deep, deep need within me-I can't explain it, but am ever grateful for the work you've put into all of these various editions you've published that help us better understand our spiritual heritage. So, with a grateful heart, have a wonderful day with your loving family. We have 9 children and are so thankful for the privilege to teach them at home-you've helped make my/our job very satisfying. Blessings, Becky Jones

This book explains all the feasts of the Lord in light of the Messiah Jesus/Yeshiva. Each festival includes Purpose of the Holiday, How the Holiday was celebrated in Bible Times, Jewish Customs of the Holiday Today, and Messianic Significance of the Holiday in Light of Jesus/Yeshua. Lots of Bible Studies, Recipes, Arts/Crafts, Puzzles, History, Geography, Language Arts, Music, Health, Science, Math, Games, Field Trips, Agriculture, and Industry ideas.

The book covers the seven annual festivals of Leviticus 23 and also contains sections on Hanukkah, Purim, and the Sabbath. Each section of the book covering one of the Holy Days is broken down into subsections including: "Purpose of the Holiday", "The Holiday in Bible Times", "Jewish Customs of the Holiday Today", "Messianic Significance of the Holiday", and "Suggestion For Celebrating the Holiday". The authors do a good job of presenting and promoting the rich meaning contained within the Biblical Holy Days. The book is supplemented with materials and ideas for a variety of activities that can be done with children or as a family. The back of the book contains several interesting and useful appendices, including resource listings for further study into the topic of "The Hebrew Roots of Christianity", as well as resources for Home Schoolers.-Olive Branches
